Discussion

WebCit Mini_Calendar Component Format String Vulnerability

WebCit is prone to a remote format-string vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input before using it in a formatted-printing function.

An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting victim to open a malicious file.

Successfully exploiting this issue will allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application.
